Is your landing page conversion rate low? Do users keep missing your big “Subscribe” button? Do users miss your cross-sell popup? Chances are this lack of action has got to do with low motivation. People may not be motivated even if you make the font size bigger. Motivation is driven by internal, emotional triggers rather than external ones.
The good news is that we can use the science of influence and persuasion to motivate people to take action. We call this the art of persuasive design.
In this session, we will share examples of persuasive design strategies such as reciprocity and social proof to drive action.

SESSION DESCRIPTION:
User interface design is no longer only about making apps usable and websites look pretty. Everyday you touch, tap, swipe, and click hundreds of interfaces that were carefully crafted with you in mind. Every interface is a potential experiment in persuading you to take certain actions or conform to prescribed behavior. While you’re usually cognizant of technology that attempts to modify your habits or change your behavior, there are an increasing number of products that are not behavior-changing technologies per se, but they have begun employing tactics on a micro-level to influence you and generally go unnoticed without your awareness. Through persuasive design, designers are building interfaces to meet business goals – goals that may not be aligned with your needs as a user.
This presentation is a practical deep dive on design tactics that harness the power of user persuasion in their products. Designers, product managers, and marketers: this one’s for you.

Evil By Design: Leading Customers Into Temptation (SXSW Version)Chris Nodder
Draft copy of my talk for South By South West 2014: "Evil By Design: Leading Customers into Temptation"
I'm going to show you how to make your customers happy using techniques that are normally employed by the lowest of the low; con-men, pick-up artists, used car salesmen, and as-seen-on-tv marketers.
You'll learn that it's OK to deceive people, and that in fact we do it all the time already. Using examples from the web and the real world, I'll show that not all deception is bad. In fact, there's a continuum from evil, through commercial and motivational to charitable deception. Customers themselves are often complicit in the deception - they *want* to be deceived!
Rather than the futile task of trying not to deceive, instead ask what your motives are for deceiving. Learn the design patterns, notice when they are being used against you, and most of all, when you design products make sure you are deceiving for good, not for evil.
This is a lighthearted yet serious dissection of dark patterns with a focus on the ethics of persuasive design and practical tips for delighting customers.
Paul Rouke delivered this presentation at Conversion Conference London 2011. This is the worlds leading conference on conversion optimisation.
These presentation slides and extensive notes on each slide provide a wide range of tips, techniques and case studies fo how retailers can improve the conversion rate of their e-commerce website.
It include a short case study of a simple change which ASOS made which reduced the abandonment rate on a crucial stage in checkout by 50%

How does Marketing Strategy Create Value for Customers Journey?PPCexpo
Dow does Marketing Strategy Create Value for Customers Journey?
The opening passage of Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities paints a reflection of pre-revolution Paris and London. It is also a reasonably accurate description of the state of marketing in the Digital Age.
This white paper is focused around the way companies are redesigning their approach to loyalty, as traditional rewards programs fail to address customer expectations in terms of convenience, speed, and relevance.
In a world where we are always logged in and customer loyalties can switch with a few taps on a mobile phone, leading brands are rethinking the entire experience they deliver to their most loyal customers, in order to make repeat purchases a habit.
Our research, based on an analysis of 40 leading brands, examines how experiences designed to increase loyalty are evolving now and into the future.
Tracking the customer journey is becoming more difficult. Today’s consumers engage brands on multiple platforms, often moving through several digital touchpoints before they are ready to buy.
Therefore, the concept of omnichannel marketing has risen, allowing businesses to embrace the change to address two critical aspects of modern marketing – technological innovation and customer experience.

Usability: whats the use? Presented by We are Sigma and PRWDNexer Digital
For websites, good usability is a matter of survival. If a website is difficult to use, people leave. If the homepage fails to clearly state what a company offers and what users can do on the site, people leave. If users get lost on a website, they leave. For intranets and applications the question is one of productivity. In many organisations employees waste inordinate amounts of time searching for and assimilating the information they need to do their jobs. This lost time has a real, tangible value so ROI for designing internal systems with User Experience in mind, and spending some time testing and improving the usability of the system, is pretty compelling.
As people with a strong User Experience focus we don’t need to be convinced of the value of good usability, but for many companies who are thinking of revamping their site, intranet or portal it isn’t quite so clear cut.

Increasing the Value of the Retail Store Channel;
• In an increasingly complex omni-channel retail environment, the retail store still plays an important role through offering an in-person brand experience.
• Offering added-value retail services is one strategy that can emphasize the value of visiting a store.
• These added-value services must be strategically tailored to specific customer needs in order to cause a significant impact on customer behaviour.
• There are various factors that contribute to the branding strategy (new brand or co-branded) of added-value services, such as service type, project timeline, and overall objectives.

12. What is Usability and User Experience?
See how Booking.com persuades visitors to book
http://bit.ly/bookingBP
13. Tips to demonstrate scarcity & encourage action
Use words such as “selling fast” on some products to introduce social proof
Use words such as “last few remaining” to create intrigue
If you indicate current activity (like Booking.com) make this genuine
Provide a filter in your navigation for “low stock availability” as some users will be
attracted to these products
Position the stock message in close proximity to the call to action
Indicate when someone last made a purchase decision
Indicate scarcity more than once, using different language to say the same thing
14.
15. ASOS display a simple but highly prominent message to
create a sense of urgency within the consumer
16. Oxfam start applying urgency as soon as visitors add a second
hand product to their basket. The simple use of the clock
icon provides visual stimulus to draw users attention
17. At the next stage of the purchase journey Oxfam then make
it really clear that the visitor has a limited time to make their
purchase – with excellent language and tone of voice used
18. “ Never pressure people to PUSH
them into purchasing.
Instead, use pressure to PREVENT
them from procrastinating.
There is a fundamental difference
between the two.
@michelfortin

19. Naked Wines combine both urgency & ability to make a
saving to stop visitors from procrastinating – positioning this
message where it is guaranteed to get noticed
20. Tips to create a sense of urgency
Use a dynamic stock reservation countdown message
Use icons to draw attention to the fact this is time specific
May close attention to the copy you use - this can be a great way to bring
out some of your brand personality
Use language which visitors will be able to relate to
Don't be shy about using these tactics
Ensure these messages are positioned in prominent positions where users
will pay attention to
Combine social proof & scarcity and other persuasive techniques like
showing that visitors can get something for FREE
21.
22. Vancouver Convention Centre pay considerable attention to
the importance of establishing & demonstrating social proof
– they also provide different types of content to engage
visitors in ways appropriate to their behaviour
23. “ When I see examples of big
organisations who have hosted
events and conferences at a

25. As well as showing ratings on the lister pages, Speedo
position the star rating & number of reviews in the ideal
position where users will focus attention on
26. Ratings are provided in a number of important areas, which
visitors can filter by, and Speedo go to considerable lengths
to ensure visitors can empathise with the reviewers
27. “ I really like how the reviews are
designed with the little bar-charts.
You see where people are happy or
disappointed with a product.
I really like how you classify what
type of swimmer you are.
I can tell if the reviewer is in the
same mind-frame as me.

28. Goskyride miss the opportunity to demonstrate social proof
on their search results pages by not featuring rider
comments
29. On the ride detail pages the rating isn’t displayed in an
optimal area and the comments are hidden behind a tab link
30. Tips to showcasing social proof
Don't rely on ratings being on your product pages - use them through the
user journey in key areas of focus for visitors
Bring customer comments to the surface, not hidden away in tabs
Combine both famous & non famous people to provide social proof about
your proposition
Allow visitors to filter reviews to find their most relevant that they can
empathise with
Provide reviewers with the opportunity to describe/categorise themselves
– demonstrate authenticity & allow visitors to empathise with them
31.
32. ASOS have provided customers with a perfect way to
consider a wider range of products rather than having to
make a decision to ‘add or not to add to my basket’ – plus
they provide a seamless experience to purchase items

38. Tips to maintaining visitor’s momentum
Repeat key proposition messages through the user journey, not just at the
initial decision making point
Provide customers with a lower level of initial commitment, not just ‘add to

Focus the user on what they are there to do - distractions can be toxic
Use colours to draw peoples attention to your key persuasive elements -
just being there isn't always enough
Use ticks to provide positive, visual affirmation of what the user has done

49. Tips for reducing choice & improving completion
Provide visitors with as few options as possible, just one if they are new
customers and you are selling online
On key landing pages limit the amount of calls to action to focus on what
you want the visitor to do
Pay particularly attention (and test) the wording on your calls to action to
understand how they impact completion
Reduce or even remove text that accompanies primary action buttons as
this slows down progress or is often dis-regarded
Use ticks to demonstrated benefits that users will get by making the
decision to do what you want them to make
Aim to create a sense of momentum by allowing visitors to make quick
decisions early on within a process of pages/tasks

Without the need for major layout changes or technical changes, this simple change, which went through a series of split tests, resulted in the abandonment rate for this page reducing by 50%. For any retailer this would be a major driver of increased sales and profit, but for a retailer the size of ASOS this type of improvement is staggering. This a very powerful example of the importance of removing what really is a huge barrier for online shoppers at the first stage of checkout.

In the middle of 2011 ASOS introduced a refreshed checkout experience, including this first, crucial stage of checkout. This is an example of probably the most barrier free first pages of checkout that I have seen, and for new customers there is absolutely no ambiguity about what to do next. What this means is that straight away new customers are able to gather momentum moving through their checkout experience, with no nagging issues or concerns about what they are committing to. Combined with their best practice driven shopping bag this delivers a superb experience for new customers.
